Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! My wife and I were in the market for a new house and in our house search we came across a very mid-century house that had been built in 1970. We fell in love with the house but unfortunately the deal fell through. In our search to find another house I became interested in mid-century houses in-general, and from there found out about "Eichler" houses. I found out that several websites were offering actual Eichler houseplans for sale and decided right then that I wanted to build a new, but historically accurate Eichler house on the East Coast. Hence this blog was born.

You can find out more about Joseph Eichler and his houses here:

There's also a cool movie about Eichler house owners here:
People in Glass Houses

Here is the house on http://houseplans.com that originally drew my interest.
